How to install gcc without disc

[lone]

Hi, I am new to this forum and I had tried my best to not to post a thread that is already exist. However there are more than 300 threads so I have decided to make this new thread and I hope I didnt violate forum rule if I did then I apologize now.

Ok my problem is that when I tried to install a .chm reader for my suse10.0 but it says that no C in the $path and I checked the packages that were installed and noticed that I didn't have any gcc compiler or java source watever, I try to install them but it asks me for CDs and I left it in my uncles house last summer. So my question is I have downloaded the newest gcc4.1.1 and would I be able to install it without my CDs. Btw to install anything on linux you type in ./configure on the terminal and then type "make install" , right? Thanx alot.

1st
Go to installation source in yast
Dissable CD/DVD

2nd
Add these to your installation source in yast.

HTTP
packman.rsync.zmi.at/suse/10.0
OR:
packman.iu-bremen.de/SUSE/10.0

Then add:
FTP
mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java
mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source
mirrors.kernel.org/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra
Set everything to refresh except CD.
Click finnish.

Now you don't need the CDs or DVD

Go to software management in yast and install gcc.

Hey, I disabled the installation on cd/dvd. But can't get the 2nd part to work, there are two input boxes: server name and directory. I tried put url that u gave me on both and on one, but is not working. It says "Unable to create Installation source from url 'http:///packman.rsync.zmi.at/suse/10.0'. detail: ERROR(InstSrc:E_noInst_on_media)

example

mirrors.kernel.org
is the server

opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java
is the directory

Don't add anthing else Yast will build the url from this.
Never figured out why they did this seems ackward to me.

It seems like the GCC isn't on the list when I typed in "gcc" in the search box. Also how do you install programs in Linux(suse) anyway. I use /.configure . One last question how/where do u go check for all the stuffs that were installed and is there a way to till which one is useful or not? Since I am running low on memory(only 105mb left)

By the way Goingnuts, the http u gave me doesn't work maybe I screwed up somehow

I am trying to learn linux using Oreily's .CHM file but suse couldn't recognize it, now before I can install the gnome chm reader I need to install gcc, I am at the point of chaos. -.- Thanx in advance for helping!

gcc should be on your cd

well, that's the problem I don't have the CDs anymore. Maybe I didn't install the program in the right way anyway. This is how I tried to install program: First I opened up the folder where the files extracted to and I open a terminal and typed in /.configure <that's the point where it asks me that no c-compiler is found>

Then you need to get gcc from the suse ftp/http site. In Yast select online update setup this should connect you to an official Novel server or mirror. Be prepared for a wait while it does this. Then you should be able to get the gcc
